Drinks & Nightlife
Great local spots for a drink and some fun!
Great neighborhood dive bar. If you're around on a Sunday night, check out their live comedy stand up. Hilarious and awkward at the same time! On Friday and Saturday night the place flips into a crazy 20-something club. Be warned/enjoy!
